摘要
We have studied the Cr(110) surface with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy at 6 to 145 K. For tunneling voltages below +/- 150 mV we observe a surface charge-density wave (CDW) with a wavelength of 42 Angstrom and wave fronts aligned with the [001] in-plane direction. The observed wave pattern is identified as the surface projection of the bulk CDW's arising from the spin-density wave ground state of Cr with the Q vector parallel to [100] and [010], respectively. The bulk CDW with Q parallel to the [001] in-plane direction appears, however, to be strongly suppressed at the Cr(110) surface.
